O cloud-hued Lord, you made the Earth and Ocean! This body you have me then drags on painfully, O, when will I cut my Karmas by the root, when end this wretched life and join you?

O Vamana who measured the wide Earth! I am fallen in Maya, suffering countless rebirths. Cutting the endless Karmas that follow me doggedly, when will find you lovely lotus-feet?

O Lord who steered the chariot in the battlefield. Smiting death to the wicked in the Bharata war! Pray tell me how I may join your feet, cutting as under my bodily connexions.

My Lord of Kaya-blossom hue! You seem to come, my radiant Lord, but never stay! O, How now can I join you, if you do not stay and give me strength?

O Heart of mine, benefit of true knowledge, you suffer endless karmic birth. O when will we join our knowledge-Lord, the radiant Krishna who lives in all forever?

O Lord Krishna, my eternal glory-flood! Alas, I have not ceased my lowly Karmas not relentlessly worshipped your lotus feet, "Krishna", I call, O where can I see you?

I stand and call from deep inside in my Karmic tomb and flounder through many dismal paths. Then my Lord did grace the cows and walk the Earth. O where can I find him now?

The pall of affliction so strong over me, as if the god of death had come throwing his snare, is over now, for I have my Krishna in my heart, He is the Lord of knowledge and eternal life.

This decad of the perfect thousand songs by Satakopan of kurugur where sweet cuckoos haunt, addresses the Lord who contains all the worlds and souls. Those who can sing it will rid the soul of its envelopes of flesh.
